Tie Me Up Tie Me Down Lyrics

russell said take what you need
he could count large amounts on his fingers
even with false teeth
tie me up and tie me down
tie me up and tie me down
russell's bleeding from his knees
he was shot three times
but he claims he was shot thirteen
tie me up and shoot me down
tie me up and shoot me down
ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba
russell's live on the bbc
sell the story for the glory
take a picture with his new false teeth
tie me up tie me down
tie me up tie me down
ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Perhaps the title is a reference to the film http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_Me_Up!_Tie_Me_Down!
